You Are Not Collateral Damage - Strike Anywhere

Our lives are not expendable

No murdering meals are starving the bloodstream

I am still accountable

For all of my footsteps scarring the green yeah

A silent cry planet wide

Are all our cousins happy to die?

Traditions and appetites

Are no good reason why

We are all animals

So we suffer in kind

All our customs leave

Our consciousness behind

All this balance interrupted

And I won’t consume you

If you breathe what I do

And bleed in red too

We paint a picture of human 'nature'

This distance that we buy

Vivisected then collected

You didn’t have to die

This Species War it is Class War

Poverty diet cancer increases

In the freezers at the back of the store

We only look at lives lived in pieces

We are all animals

So we suffer in kind

All our customs leave

Our consciousness behind

All this balance interrupted

And I won’t consume you

If you breathe what I do

And bleed in red too

Live free

We are all animals

So we suffer in kind

All our customs leave

Our consciousness behind

All this balance interrupted

And I won’t consume you

If you breathe what I do

And bleed in red too

Did they smile through their teeth

When they told you you deserved this?

Professional men speaking from the side of their mouths

Letting you battle with this isolation

Give me strength to witness, strength to witness

Death is big business

Not for you and I

Our death is not collateral

Collateral
